Question 2

I'm really worried about my 6-year-old. He's been having these persistent hiccups for the past three days now. We took him to our regular doctor who didn't find anything wrong, but they just won't stop. He's still really energetic, playing, and eating just fine, but I'm starting to get concerned. Any idea what might be causing this or what we should do next?

Accepted Answer

Frequent hiccups in children are usually harmless, especially if your son is active and eating well. Persistent hiccups over three days, though, might need further evaluation to rule out irritants like acid reflux or other rare causes. Its worth consulting a pediatrician for a second opinion.

Question 3

My daughter had her 6-week vaccinations on March 8th, and since then, she's had a lump on her thigh. The doctor suggested using hot water treatment, but there's still a small lump there. Could you give me some advice on what else I should do or if this is normal?

Accepted Answer

Is it normal to get a lump after an injection? Getting a lump under your skin is a normal and expected injection site reaction. The lump may be painful or tender. As with other symptoms related to injection site reactions, get medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 1 to 2 days or get worse.

I'm really worried about my 3-year-old who has a fever of 101. His weight is around 12 kg, and I have Calpol syrup 250 mg at home. Can you let me know how much I should be giving him to help bring the fever down? Is this the right dosage for his age and weight?

For a 3-year-old child weighing 12kg with a 101F fever, the recommended dosage of Calpol 250mg syrup is 5-7.5ml (1.25-1.875mgkg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4 doses in 24 hours;
